SUMMARY:AWEC Symposium 2026
DESCRIPTION:Following on from our inaugural Advancing Women in Engineering & Construction (AWEC) Symposium in 2022\, and the release of the resultant White Paper\, we are excited to reconvene for our second AWEC Symposium on the 2nd of July\, 2026.  The AWEC initiative is at its core committed to supporting equity for women in their professional careers and is primarily aimed at supporting the development and retention of women in the engineering sector and associated parts of the building & construction industry. \nSponsored Tickets: \nNZSEE and SESOC have committed to sponsoring up to 10 tickets for members to attend this important event. In addition to the ticket\, there is also a grant available that can be used to support travel\, accommodation\, and childcare up to a total of $500 (including GST) per attendee. Preference will be given to those who have completed their education and are NZSEE and/or SESOC members from outside of Tāmaki Makaurau – Auckland. \nTo apply\, complete the form:  HERE \nJoin the Collective! \nThe AWEC webpage has more information on the event\, and a link to purchase tickets: \nhttps://diversityagenda.org/awec/ \n \n\n\nJoin us to set the direction – not carry the load!\n\n\n\n\nThe 2026 symposium’s tagline of ‘A Collective Voice for Change: Beyond the Barriers’\, takes our foundational motivation of centring the experiences and voices of women\, and aims to build on this by highlighting current barriers to achieving representation and a more inclusive and diverse profession\, whilst also identifying tangible actions that could sustainably overcome these restrictions. Our objective here is for women to guide the way forward\, but not be responsible for leading the change.

SUMMARY:Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers Webinar
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\n\nSustainable Design for Structural Engineers\nSESOC is excited to host their first webinar on Sustainable Design for Structural Engineers. \nNew Zealand’s net-zero-carbon legislation requires all industries to contribute to the carbon reduction journey and this is no different for the Construction and Structural Design industries.  The Building and Construction sector currently accounts for around 15% of New Zealand’s annual carbon emissions (MBIE\, 2021)\, and around half of this is through the materials used in buildings and infrastructure. \nSESOC is committed to supporting the shift towards net zero carbon construction\, and to that end\, are looking for ways we can support our members to engage\, understand\, and undertake embodied carbon assessments for their projects\, increasing the ‘carbon literacy’ of the industry (and clients) ahead of the expected mandatory reporting requirements from Central Government. \nWhen: Thursday 28th October at 5.30pm\nWhere: Online Via Zoom\nCost: Free | Register here \nTo Kick start our conversations on Sustainable design\, we welcome Will Arnold\, head of Climate Action for the Institution of Structural Engineers in the UK to share the journey that the UK has been on over the past few years. \nFrom within our own SESOC Sustainable Design Task Force\, Jared Keen and Nick Carmen will then share their presentations from the SESOC 2021 Conference focussing on how we as structural engineers can make a positive contribution through our projects. \nQ and A for the speakers will run after the presentations. \n\n\n\n\nWill Arnold\, Head of Climate Action\, the Institution of Structural Engineers \nWill leads the IStructE’s response to the climate emergency\, bringing sustainability action into all aspects of its work. He is responsible for driving change within the profession\, setting the minimum sustainability standards for institution members\, producing sustainability publications and training to support this\, and collaborating across the wider industry as it moves towards zero emissions. Previous to his work with the institution\, Will was a practising structural engineer at Arup for 10 years where he was responsible for key aspects of ambitious architectural projects across the world. \n  \nWill is chair of the Construction Industry Council’s 2050 Group\, and an active member of The Edge thinktank\, the UK Built Environment Advisory Group\, and the Engineering Advisory Group for The Structural Engineer magazine. He also sits on the judging panel for The Structural Awards. In 2021\, Will was presented with the President’s Award by the Institution\, in recognition of his work instigating change in the field of structural sustainability.\n\n\n\nEmbodied Carbon in Structural Design   \nNick Carman – Mott MacDonald NZ \n Based on some recent experiences and projects quantifying embodied carbon for buildings in Aotearoa-New Zealand\, the purpose of this presentation is to discuss the motivation behind studying embodied carbon\, fundamentals of LCA for buildings and typical results from recent studies\, from the viewpoint of an engineer entering into the world of LCA. \nA few key areas of uncertainty are discussed\, such as appropriate steelwork embodied carbon factors (ECFs)\, comparison between as-designed and as-constructed measures\, and whether the use of timber to decarbonise a project is a silver bullet. \n  \nNick Carman is a Technical Director within the Built Environment sector at Mott MacDonald\, with a strong focus on sustainability and  low-carbon design brought about by collaboration.  He has worked on projects throughout Australasia\, the UK\, the Middle-East and Canada\, but his favourite work remains that in his home of New Zealand.\n\n\n\nChallenges and Possible Solutions for Structural Engineers Seeking to Make a Positive Contributions to the Climate Emergency \nJared Keen – BECA \nAs the construction industry\, and the society within which we operate\, seeks mitigations to our present climate emergency\, structural engineers are seeking ways to transform from part of the problem\, to part of the solution.  In this presentation\, Jared examines the barriers that face practicing engineers in the meaningful implementation of low-carbon structures\, and how those barriers might be hurdled\, either by individual design teams\, or by the industry at large. \n  \nJared Keen is a Technical Director at Beca.  As a practicing structural engineer he has delivered major projects throughout New Zealand\, the United Kingdom and Europe.  He is the current IStructE New Zealand branch chair\, and an industry affiliate for QuakeCore.  He has a particular interest in sustainability and low damaged design and has delivered multiple timber projects in New Zealand\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:ESE - Waikato Launch “Things I Learnt the Hard Way”
DESCRIPTION:SESOC Emerging Structural Engineers Network – Waikato Launch – “Things I Learnt the Hard Way” \nThursday 10th of October \n5.30pm Tea/Coffee  \n6.00pm Presentation Start \n7:00pm Nibbles/Drinks \n  \nAECOM\, 121 Rostrevor St\, Hamilton  \n  \nSESOC is excited to announce the launch of the Emerging Structural Engineers Network. The Waikato launch will be held on the 10th of October and features a panel of speakers who are each undoubtedly leaders in the structural engineering industry. Whether it be technical challenges in design or construction projects\, building relationships with clients and colleagues or the development of professional skills\, the transition from university student to professional engineer can be tough – come and learn from the experiences of those that have been there as our panellists share their “things I learnt the hard way”.  \n  \nThe event is held in partnership with Young Engineers Waikato and AECOM. \n  \nOur panellists are: \n  \nAlex Vindel – Alex Vindel is Hamilton Structures Team Leader for AECOM NZ and has 16 years of experience working as a consulting structural engineer. Alex obtained a BEng Hons degree in Aerospace Engineering but transitioned into Structures with his first ‘proper’ job for a small structural civil consultancy in the UK. After five years Alex moved to AECOM UK and quickly gained experience in a diverse range of projects\, sectors and contractual arrangements. During his time in the UK\, Alex had significant roles in delivering projects in both traditional and modular forms of construction for the Ministry of Defence\, refurbishment of grade listed historical buildings\, design optioneering for Clapham Junction train station upgrade and design of airside ancillary buildings at Heathrow airport to name a few select projects. In 2016 Alex moved to Hamilton and as team lead has been responsible for both the management and technical delivery of projects in the Waikato and Bay of Plenty region. \n  \nDaniel Moore – Daniel joined Holmes Consulting in 2011\, making the move south to Hamilton from Auckland to become the Hamilton office Business Manager. Daniel has 10 years of design experience and 15 years in the industry. His project experience has included bulk retail\, industrial developments and retail complexes. Daniel enjoys building lasting relationships with clients and members of the design team during a project and sharing in the reward of a successful project. On many of his projects\, Daniel and his team have been the Lead Consultant responsible for developing the overall building and site layout and developing the architectural\, structural and civil components. Through his role as Lead Consultant (and Engineer to Contract) he has developed an extensive understanding of how buildings go together and the significant ongoing influence they can have on the businesses and communities they support. \n  \nJohn Warrington – John is a Principal Geotechnical Engineer with WSP Opus\, based in their Hamilton Office\, and holds both CPEng and CEng registrations with Engineering New Zealand and the Institution of Civil Engineers in the UK. John has experience across a broad range of Civil Engineering disciplines having been involved in the design of cooling water systems for power stations\, geotechnical feasibility studies for nuclear and gas fired power stations\, design of small-scale hydro-electric schemes and the management of geotechnical input to light rail projects amongst others. John has worked for both consultancies and client organisations and as a result has developed a good understanding of the requirement for strong and open relationships between all parties involved in order to ensure the successful delivery of projects. Since moving to NZ in 2011\, the differing engineering challenges presented in the country has demonstrated that one is never too old to learn and broaden ones’ experience.  \n  \nRSVP link: \nhttps://forms.gle/ASj6m8hsA1fKspKY7

SUMMARY:Simplified Lateral Mechanism Analysis (SLaMA) - Hamilton
DESCRIPTION:This seminar provides guidance on the simplified lateral mechanism analysis (SLaMA) of existing buildings. The seminar aims to clarify the conceptual basis of how the approach can be used to assist in establishing the %NBS of a building. Two worked examples will be reviewed during the seminar\, making reference to relevant parts of the NZSEE detailed seismic assessment guidelines and a newly released set of guidelines for SLaMA. It is intended that practitioners inexperienced with the subject of seismic assessment will leave the seminar equipped with a better understanding of the SLaMA approach and valuable notes for later reference. \nDownload Registration form here\nSpeaker Profile\nTim Sullivan \nTim Sullivan is an Associate Professor at the University of Canterbury\, New Zealand.
